How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Hero

  • Its pyramid opens on cedar, benzoin, atlas cedar, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More recent creation (2021, against 2008).
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — atlas cedar, himalayan cedar are among the least common notes in our database.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Gypsy Water

  • Eau de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • sandalwood, incense, pine: all materials absent from Hero.
  • 18 years of existence (2008): it has proved itself for longer.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Gypsy Water — an eau de parfum formula against an eau de toilette

  • Most original

    Hero — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (atlas cedar, himalayan cedar)
